The official Australian Open 2008 thread




Lets talk tennis guys

Now this is my kind of thread!

I can't believe Murray lost in the first round!!! I'm not really a huge fan, though, but it's kinda funny. So, Roddick's through to the 2nd round (YAY), Rafa is on his way there - he's up 2 sets and pretty certain to win the third - it's half past midnight in australia and they're still playing!! Poor lil rafa will be getting tired!!

The main man Roger Fed will take to the court tomorrow (in the night session) and number 3 seed, Novak Djokovic during the day. I can't wait to see Lleyton play.

On the womens side.. I'm not too sure, but I don't think there were any major upsets today.

I love the new blue courts.

A nice pic from Andy's first round match



..And an interesting one of Rafa! hehe

I'm not surprise at all that Murray went out lol. No offence but he's just slouch around the court by far the most boring tennis player I've ever seen in my life lmao. Overated though hes like number 9 in the world what a joke. Hes still a kid though, 20 but hes not gonna grow up to be like Federer

Ivan Ljubičić (17) of Croatia lost as well today

How awesome are the blue courts, classy as!!! But i still miss those green courts

GO FEDERER!!!!!! :cool::cool:



Australian Open a place for Federer to kick Andy Roddick's Arse!! :P

Hey now, take that back!!! I have a lot of faith in Mr.Roddick... I think this year might be his year!!!! Although, woowwwwwwwww Federer was on fire today... I saw him win the 2nd set, went to the kitchen (for about 5 seconds) and came back to see he'd already wrapped up the 3rd. AMAZING!

Hahhaha, you're right about murray, though. He's definitely slouchy that one.

Yes, it's here, In Melbourne!!

ooohh you're in melbourne?? Me so jealous!!!! Are you going to the tennis??

Me too Im jealous Melbourne has such a large supply of sporting events whether its soccer, tennis, cricket and of course AFL.Not much is happening in Brisbane yet Lol

But T.G ur close to Wimbledon so Im even more jealous of that lol

A- Rod and the Fed X might meet in the Final, but even expect that to be a cakewalk final after last nights performance. Fed demolished Hartfield in 74 minutes 6-0, 6-3, 6-0

Next up on Feds list is Fabrice Santoro (France)

Oh no one is talking about the womens tennis!!

oh well I might just add that Sharapova is playing Davenport tonight

Haha, no one is talking about any sort of tennis... apart from us!! Lol. Anyways, I was cheering for davenport!! Not a huge fan of maria.. I like ana ivanovic.

Rafa was AWESOME in his 2nd round.. as was Roddick. I'm hoping for a roddick/nadal quarter final. Hm, andy always loses his game against federer - roger can read his serve easily, so without that weapon, things are always that much harder for andy. Oh well, I believe in him!!

Oh, and the aussie open looks wayyy more fun than wimbledon.
